Heads Need To Be Cracked In!

Ahead Of The Crowd
By Johan Hed

I know I speak for every organism that has ever existed on the planet
when I say that heads need to be cracked in, fast.  Cracking people's
heads in was my first love, and it shall be my last.

What else is there, besides cracking people's heads in?  Not much:
the march of days, seasons, dreams, love and lies.  Sex, anxiety,
getting by.  Food, albums, murmurs and moods.  Memories and plans,
sidewalks and fruitstands.

And that's all fine, but like it says on my bumper-sticker -- and
T-shirt and customized baseball cap and kitchen table (carved with a 
key) and bedsheet (scrawled with a Magnum marker): "I'd rather be
cracking your head in."

Take it personally.  I'm talking about everyone, including you.  I'm
very democratic.  That's one of the things I like about me, besides
that "thing" I have about cracking people's heads in.

This one guy whose head I wanted to crack in said to me "Isn't what you
really want to do is to bash people's heads in?  How can you crack
someone's head in?  Man, that's exactly the kind of thing I'm talking
about!  Bash, crack, smash, whichever!  Those are just words, and words
are of no interest to me.  What is of interest to me is cracking in
the head of every living thing on this planet that has a head!  That's
what I mean!  That is very interesting to me!

Everyone I see practically says to me, "Please crack my head in for my
own sake."  They don't say it in those words, no.  They say it in other
ways, like in the way they dress, but I hear them.  And I heed their
cries.

Story of my life:

    Mom:         Oh, Johan, you look so cute in your suspenders!
    Mom's head:  Crack!

    Dad:         Johan, life isn't always going to be easy.
    Dad's head:  Crack!

    Me:          Maybe you shouldn't go around cracking people's
                 heads in all the time.
    My head:     Crack!


Cracking heads in is the only image I can, or will ever, comprehend.
It is the single action which resonates sensibly within the rhythm of
this world.  Hopes are dashed!  Heads are cracked!  People forget!
Of course you don't understand!  Which is why your head needs to be
cracked in!  Do you understand?  Are you among the kindred?  Then your
head needs to be cracked in even harder, friend.
